Three Navy personnel were arrested and detained by the CID in connection with the killing of TNA Parliamentarian Nadarajah Raviraj and a policeman in 2006, police said today.

The parliamentarian was shot dead by gunmen in Colombo in 2006 November.

Spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekara said the arrested were being interrogated under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA).

“The three soldiers including two officers will also be interrogated over the incidents of disappearance of several youth reported in 2006,” he said.(DS)

    wow ...this is how the new governmet works now..so ranil you are going to question why prabhakaran was killed too???????

    Lankan Tuesday, 31 March 2015 12:27 PM

    prabakaran wasnt equal to raviraj. shut your filthy mouth before you come up with idioticness. he was one of the leading and honest politician who fought for the rights of the minority. he was a target of the government like lasantha. why is it itchy to you when justice is sought for tamils?your sort should have died instead of innocent civilians

    Dulip Gamage Tuesday, 31 March 2015 12:38 PM

    I dont think so. Because, Raviraj is parlimentarian and Prabhakaran is a terrorist.

    What the hell is this witch hunt?

    Patrick Tuesday, 31 March 2015 01:06 PM

    Stupid questions should not be answered

    Asa Tuesday, 31 March 2015 01:06 PM

    Are this idiotic? Raviraj was a civilianand an elected MP, Prabakaran was a terrorist.

    cruso Tuesday, 31 March 2015 01:09 PM

    What a useless comment by dperera. He wants to kill all innocent Tamils and nobody should question about it. What a communal minded person. Government must bring all the murderers and punish them without any mercy.

    Cerberus Tuesday, 31 March 2015 03:03 PM

    Hardly a witch hunt. It is the pursuit of justice!

    Winitha Tuesday, 31 March 2015 03:04 PM

    Good and reasonable question.

    punchinilame Tuesday, 31 March 2015 03:05 PM

    The basic fact is that Naval staff do not go about murderinganyone - it is who made the command to eliminate him andwhy. This needs clear sorting for the benefit of all citizens.

    Mohideen Wednesday, 01 April 2015 06:26 AM

    It may take another century to Sri Lanka to become a civilized country

    Kirigoris Wednesday, 01 April 2015 03:07 PM

    Sinhalese will never give independence to Tamils which they got it free of ...........from British.They keep on fighting with Tamils until this country will become an Islamic State in late twenties as said by SLMC founder.
